i keep going back to the 1990s, who would ever look at bill clinton and think -- would look at bill clinton and newt gingrich as the models of, you know, of compromise in the age of impeachment. but those guys did not like each other at the beginning of the process. in fact, they hated each other in '94. but they spent four years behind closed doors, you know, knocking each other's heads. they figured out how to balance the budget together. and they will both say it. the president will say to gingrich, gingrich will say to the president, four years in a row for the first time since the '20s, and the president is flying off today to a campaign rally. i'm rooting for the president. i am. i'm rooting for boehner. i really am. i want them to all succeed. i want us to avert this crisis. it depresses me, though, the way the president's team is having him perform on the national stage. i think this is a bad mistake. >> i think it's too early to tell. "national review's" jim garrity, thank you. eugene robinson, thank you as well. your post is online at washingtonpost.com. >> can we go to richard? w

two is that look, what's wrong with us going back to quite frankly the rate under bill clinton? you remember the clinton years? the largest economic expansion in our history? everyone's boat rising, everyone paying their fair share, deficit reduction, the middle class growing. the problem with what republicans want to do right now, wolf, is they want to lock in this tax rate that you have to sort of address the tax rate. we cannot have a tax rate locked in where they starve the government so that the middle class has to sort of pay more of the share for the burden of government, and you know what, we end up cutting away those programs, those things that help grow opportunity for the middle class. the number one problem with our country right now is sort of the shrinking and burden on the middle class. if we want to sort of expand the middle class and grow the middle class, the last thing we can do is sort of put more of that burden on them as opposed to asking the wealthy people to pay their fair share, like what they paid in the clinton administration. >> okay, cornel, let me s

>> bill: yes and you said? >> and i was shocked. >> bill: you were? >> i was shocked that that is the image that she is learning right now even though she saw sarah palin and hillary clinton four years ago. and i said to her a woman can be president and you know what? i hope you are. >> bill: i think we are wandering a little afar here. let's get back to this dopey catalog. in my opinion, what the toys are us swedish people are doing is politically correct. they want the adults who read the catalog, because they have the money, the tykes don't to say oh isn't that enlightened? isn't that what we here in sweden are promoting that there isn't any difference between boys and girls? and of course there is a difference. but in sweden apparently they don't want to acknowledge that pirro. i think that's what this is all about. >> i think what it is about is the fear of some people that if you give children a toy that is not considered something that their gender would want to play with that somehow we are promoting like homosexuality and reversals in roles.
